Veins in
Hypermobility
and EDS
PREMIUM ASSESSMENT
Joint hypermobility and connective tissue conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) can influence the veins, the way symptoms present, and the results of previous treatments.
We take the time to understand the full picture, find the underlying cause, and guide the right treatment and referrals.

A MORE COMPLEX CONNECTION
Why Hypermobility
Can Affect the Veins
Connective tissue provides support and strength to many structures in the body, including veins and valves.
When connective tissue is more lax, veins may be more easily stretched, valves may not function optimally, and symptoms can be more variable or out or proportion to visible veins.
This can also influence treatment outcomes and the risk of recurrence
